Damn Infiltration requires a lot of patience, it's really tough to just stay back when you're practically a machine constructed to destroy them all in one fell swoop. :lol At least it keeps challenging me, or else my friend and I would be blowing through it just like everything else.

Apparently theres a PC patch coming/is already out -
Gamespot review of PC version 6.5/10
looks like it's a bad buggy port and the game is way too easy with mouse/keyboard.

If you're interested in coop you can play this game for at least 20 hours.
The patch seems to cover most of the isuues Gamespot had with the game.
LOL about keyboard and mouse making the game easier! Yes, cause you can aim and move between targets with no struggle. Maybe it's easier cause the implemented a cover system, took out most of the stealth and added Mark and Execute.

So, I'm not even sure how you unlock weapons. I would just notice I unlocked more not really how I did it. Anyway, I'm missing the AK it seems. How does one get that? Is it related to co-op story because I still haven't played through it.
Also, I finally went onto Uplay because I remembered my Ubi account and it kept getting errors when I tried to get my rewards. Kind of wanted at least the theme and the extra mode.

I'm interested in playing this game, as I am a big Splinter Cell fan. The problem is I just can't seem to find the time or interest to finish Double Agent.
Should I just go ahead and get Conviction anyway?

Feindflug said:According to Ubi a new update is coming that will take care of this glitch - you won't have to beat the game again as the new title update will check if you completed all the chapters on Realistic and then the achievement will automatically unlock.
Thank Christ, my first co-op partner and I both got this glitch as well.
so it seems the multiplayer for this has been cracked as well, while legitimate buyers are still waiting on the day "1" patch to roll out from ubisoft to make the game playable with the 360 controller, because of a bug that has been around since RS:Vegas 2 :lol
it seems even people with wired 360 controllers are getting bugs with it swapping A/B/X around. so glad i didnt buy it... now I play the waiting game to see if they are actually going to let everyone have this mythical 1.01 patch that some people randomly got but not others...

I would agree and disagree with this. One plot point of Double Agent becomes a huge deal in Conviction, but I'd just find a plot summary somewhere rather than go through the entire Double Agent game.

I don't know if this helps but Saboteur has a similar problem for me. But I found a solution!Q8D3vil said:
Startup the game without!! powering your Wireless Controller. When the game is running and you are in the main menu start your controller as always.
I don't own Conviction but perhaps it works here as well.

I'm planning to get a new laptop soon, and I was really curious about getting this for the PC since I don't own a 360. Perhaps I'll wait on the game until the patch releases to hear about feedback.

Finally got to play the single player. I beat it in one sitting. i would say I got about 6-7 hours out of it. I thought it was pretty good, I was never bored in the slightest and the storyline kept me interested. Now I'm going back in to check out some of the other modes.
I have to agree here! The single player is pretty entertaining and there are two missions where the music really delivers in setting the mood right and / or making you feel really cool xD It would be cool to have a retry counter because I did it a lot when making a minor mistake. With coop modes and single player I played the game for about 25 hours.Suburban_Nooblet said:
About the ingame voice complaint, well, there is skype, ventrilo, mumble etc. so what's the problem there.. performance problems were almost gone after the ati 10.4a update (here). I rate this game 9 for being outstanding imo.
edit: does anyone know the name of the song
where you have to get to Grim's car? the last part of the military station

Just beat this game and I gotta say....
I love this game.
Sure its short but game's pacing doesn't feel drawn out. What conviction lacks in being a full fledge stealth game, it gains in having variety. Those non stealth parts break up the repetition a little and sprinkle some spice into the overall gameplay. Story isn't a convoluted mess like in MGS4 and the presentation is top notch with the projected instructions and cutscenes on the wall.
Mark and execute did make the game easier but it also made the game feel a lot smoother.
2 things I don't like at all are the colors becoming monochrome when you're hiding in the dark and not being able to whistle or cause some kind of distraction like throwing a bottle.
I also felt that the unlimited silenced pistol made all the other weapons seem useless. They should've given the silencer a life bar and made all pistols with limited ammo to force players to think out of the box instead of playing it safe with one weapon.
I hope they include some dlc that lets you play as hobo Sam.

Played some of the the deniable ops 'hunter' mode over the weekend. I've played the first two 'levels' and they were both pretty cool. Seems like they missed some opportunities to put in a bunch of different paths here, but maybe I just haven't found them yet.
Anyways, anyone who has finished this mode - do splinter cells show up at some point, or are the 'gas mask' guys the toughest enemy (normal mode)?

Well - I had the same issue last night. Wasnt sure if it was because my pal just switched to the super crappy Sprint Overdrive for his broadband or not though. We tried probably 5 times and never were able to have the game stay up for more than 5-10 minutes before a "sync" error would occur and boot us out.
I was playing and got disconnected. Got the buy all weapons upgrades, buy all uniforms, and buy all camouflage (or maybe upgrades) Achievements, then shut it down.
Started it up today and had to recover my Gamertag. Now I don't have those Achievements, but all the upgrades, uniforms, etc... are purchased. Am I screwed?

Okay. I've had it. This game is terrible. It sucks ass as an action game, and apparantly nobody likes it as a stealth one. I was never a fan of the original SC games, but they always impressed me with how obsessive the game was to small details. This just feels like Gears of War, Sam swathing through piles of mooks without really caring about anything besides whether or not he's currently getting shot at.
The B&W shit is terrible.
The cutscenes are really nice, very impressive, except the models don't even try to synch to the VA and the whole thing pulls you out. And Sam himself even sounds 30 years older than his in game model looks.

FUCK.
WHY THE FUCK ARE THE SUBTITLES SO GODDAMN FAST? I can't read that fast Ubisoft. >:|
It's fine for some lines, but I'm midway through a two-lined subtitle and suddenly Sam/
are on the nexted "voiced" line and the subtitle moves with it as well.
ARGH. Some of us can't hear and it would be nice to fully enjoy a Splinter Cell for once with full subtitles, but it seems Ubisoft has to rob me of that with fast changing subtitles. *sigh* I hope it's just the first/tutorial level. :/

After finishing the campaign, and putting a lot of time into the co-op, I really hope that since they already have this engine working that the sequel comes out reletively quickly, meaning 1 1/2 or 2 years instead of FIVE. I really like the athleticism they gave the player, but I want more of the classic Splinter Cell in this engine.
- Non lethal methods to EVERY single encounter. That means Tranquilized weapons, more routes to get around enemies, non-lethal CQC moves, etc. CQC Knife as well for when you want to hold someone hostage without a gun.
- More stealth options. Let me carry bodies, let me throw empty mags, let me throw bottles, let me whistle, let me knocks on walls, let me hit/unscrew light sources close to me instead of shooting them all the time, bring back the split wall jump, etc. i want to play with the environment more.
- Less dependency on Mark + Execute. As it is now, it really FEELS like they designed these rooms for this feature. Mark + execute should be a last resort kind of thing, and the enemies should not be standing around in such obvious patterns. LET ME USE MY BRAIN.
- On detection the game should bring in reinforcements. I don't understand how these guards wouldn't call for backup when they're partners are literally sometimes right downstairs. I want to feel overwhelmed against realistic guards if I get caught. I should have to jump to the ceiling pipe, or in a corner and wait out their aggression, or regroup and re-plan my strategy according to the amount of reinforcements brought in.
- Black and White thing has to go. It doesn't look good, and OFTEN makes you think a spot you're in, or going to is actually darker than it really is. Upon detection when everything is in color the room looks a hell of a lot brighter than it does in B+W. Give me back my light meter.
- Make the guards SHUT UP. I want to be going against highly trained soldiers that don't talk as much, and move in realistic groups using all the military hand signals, etc. These Talky McChatterbox soldiers are annoying.
Basically I want more of the old Splinter Cell back. I appreciate what they did with this one, but they changed it too much IMO. Also, with this super cinematic route they went, replaying sections is a pain. You can't skip cut-scenes until well into them to mask loading, and you can't skip the interactive moments which last up to 3 minutes sometimes. I like the game, but if it takes a completely new main character, or a refresh of the series to get it back to REAL stealth, so be it.

The last couple levels of the co-op were like Gears of War for a friend and I. I don't think the realistic difficulty was hard enough to force us to play the rest stealthily, although i'll probably play through it again right next time. I really miss being killed from one bullet like in Chaos Theory's hardest difficulty.

So, I just picked up SCC, played a little on Normal. I really like it. Though I am still a little wary of the really short single player (so I've heard), so I've been thinking of resetting on 'Realistic'. Is this just a hard mode where the enemies are tougher and more aggressive, or is there any other differences? I generally dislike playing on 'Hard', I get easily annoyed and frustrated, when I just want to have some fun.
